Being a frequent traveler, I’ve become accustomed to paying a lot of drop in rates only to find gyms weren’t open when I needed them, or didn’t have the right equipment. I began training at Blood Iron Barbell due to their unique selection of strongman equipment and quickly found it to be one of the most supportive lifting environments in Syracuse. The flexibility in hours and value that I get from the equipment and environment quickly made me realize I should sign up as a member. I highly recommend this gym, if it’s for an occasional drop in or something more, you won’t regret it.

A real gym for the dedicated

Easily one of the most unique best gym I’ve been too. They have it all with turf for training as well all the free weights and machines you would ever need. I travel for work and this is the best old school gyms. Very friendly also.

Going to Hercules gym was a breath of fresh air. Quick and easy sign in for a day pass. No judgment. No rude people. Just an big space with great equipment. Tons of strongman and athletic equipment. Deadlift platforms and competition style squat racks. Ample dumbbells and machines. The staff was friendly and you can tell they really care about providing a great place to train. I will be sure to stop here for my workouts when Im in the area in the future.

One of the best gyms in the state if not the whole east coast. Specialty bars, platforms, dumbbells to 200 lbs, strongman equipment, turf, monolifts, huge variety of machines. Great atmosphere and cant recommend enough.

Rheta and Pete are tremendous owners. Theres plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. Equipment is well maintained and the space is amazing. Great place to train.

Amazing place with huge history in the syr area Rheta and her staff are amazing

In a time of pretty and comfortable, new fitness facilities Blood Iron Barbell is a slap the face wake up call to the reality of weight training. Old school feel with experience and history in not only the gym but the WR holder owner Rheta West. If you are serious about training whether it be powerlifting in the separate back power room, strongman in the 315 room, or bodybuilding strength training in the main room this gym is where you want to train in CNY. Oh they have cardio equipment too 😊

Wow ! What can I say, it speaks for itself, good work out

Called to ask how much each month. They told me 60 dollar. That’s unheard-of and completely ridiculous. I just moved here and I have been trying different GYMs. So far I tried two but decided I call this one. I’m sorry but no GYM is worth that much. Personally I think 30 a month is pushing it. Good luck with your business.

Great gym I love the environment 😎

This gym is an absolute gem! I travel all over for work and stop in local powerlifting/bodybuilding gyms far and wide. Ive been to awful gyms and great ones, and this one is crrtainly towards the top. Great equipment, environment, owners, and gym dog (dont let him scare you, hes a teddy bear).

Best gym in upstate NY. If you want to change your body for the better, this is where you go.

Blood Iron Barbell is not Hercules Gym, be aware that these are actually photos of Hercs and are misrepresented. The positive reviews are from Herc as well and should not be on this page.

Probably the best gym Ive ever been to offering every service you could think of. This place will meets anyones fitness needs

Best gym by far in the area, great owners with the best equipment.

Fantastic place! The best place to train!

Tons of equipment to get you lift on and cardio. No A/C so your going to sweat your a** off.

Everyone is there for the same reason. To lift heavy and push the limits.

Good place to work out

Truly, a judgement free zone. 😜

Solid old school gym and only $10 for a day pass when you travel.

Good equipment and lots of space

Clean and friendly place with all the equipment that you need!

Sick powerlifting gym
